It has been 11 years since the Condors have put together a five game winning streak in league play -- also the last time they won a league title.
Four straight has occurred on a handful of occasions, which is where North County sits tonight when it puts its undefeated Pacific Division record on the line, hosting defending champion Alvarez.
The Eagles have a streak of their own going, having captured 10 straight league wins dating back to last year.
While Alvarez's blistering start isn't a surprise, the Condors rise to the top has opened a few eyes this season.
Sophomore Jeremy Heitzman has given North County a shot in the arm in the post, averaging 11 points and 11 rebounds a game. The team is 7-1 since his arrival.
Heitzman's presence has provided more looks for Jordan Graves, who is averaging nearly 18 points a game.
Various reasons have kept three starters out of the lineup at times for Alvarez. Yet, it hasn't skipped a beat behind Bernard Gomez and Deryck Benting.
Getting Jesse Carrillo back from an ankle injury paid immediate dividends as he dropped in 17 in a recent win over North Salinas.
